These homes in The Reserve on Lake Travis were built in a flood plain so all living spaces had to be on second or third floors. The bottom floor garage and outdoor living spaces had to be built with flood vents and water resistant building materials that could survive rising waters. The homes were provided with stacking closets to accommodate a future elevator if stairs became an issue for the owners.
The rustic theme and lakefront location appealed to an interesting, mostly non-local, public and sold out quickly.
